Holdings (OTC:CHSH) (BULLETIN BOARD: CHSH) today announced that it
has entered into an equity line of credit agreement ("ELC") with

the option to draw down up to $2 million of equity funding by

effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed by the
company. China Shoe management is pleased to point out that the
terms of the financing are beneficial to the long-term growth on
the company. Draw downs on the ELC will be at China Shoe's sole
discretion. If China Shoes elects to make a draw under the
agreement, the shares to be issued will be priced at an 8% discount
to the average closing bid price of China Shoe's shares during the
